Apple Mail is so nearly beautiful, but it has many horrible bugs (even in 10.2.1), and it's dog slow. I've reported the two worst bugs I've found via their MacOS X bug form, but have received no response. Till then I'd have to recommend Pine 4.44 or Mozilla 1.2 (OK it's not quite finally out, but the latest nightly :) under MacOS X. Eudora 5.2 seems pretty good too. Haven't tried Mulberry etc... I'd really love to see Apple Mail GPL'ed--some of its UI is excellent (you can drag folders across servers; how many other clients do that?), and with a few more pairs of eyes on the source the horrible bugs should get squashed.
